Wet Hijama (Cupping) Therapy
The traditional Sunnah therapy, delivered with modern hygiene standards, sterile single-use equipment, and honest consultation before any cup is placed.
What is wet Hijama?
Wet Hijama combines suction cupping with small, superficial incisions that allow a controlled amount of blood to be drawn. It is the classical form of cupping practised in Prophetic medicine and remains the most requested therapy we offer.
Every session follows a strict sequence: consultation, skin preparation and disinfection, an initial dry-cup stage, light incisions with a sterile single-use blade, and a final suction stage — followed by cleaning, dressing, and clear aftercare instructions.
Hygiene is non-negotiable
Blades and cups that touch broken skin are single-use and disposed of safely after every client. Practitioners wear gloves throughout, surfaces are covered and disinfected, and we never re-use consumables. If a condition makes wet Hijama unsuitable on the day — for example certain medications or health conditions raised in consultation — we will say so honestly rather than proceed.
Wet Hijama for men and women
Our team includes certified male and female practitioners, so gender-appropriate care is maintained at all times. Home visits are available across Nairobi, giving you privacy and comfort without travelling after a session.
Session flow and booking
A wet Hijama visit typically takes 45 to 60 minutes including consultation, the dry-cup stage, incisions and final suction, then cleaning, dressing, and aftercare guidance. Pricing depends on the number of points treated and your location — message us on WhatsApp for a quote. If you are on blood-thinning medication or have a bleeding disorder, tell us when booking.
Wet Hijama (Cupping) Therapy — common questions
Is wet Hijama painful?
The incisions are very light and superficial — most clients describe them as small scratches. The suction itself is a firm pull rather than pain, and the practitioner adjusts everything to your comfort.
Is it safe? What about infection?
Blades and any cup that touches broken skin are sterile, single-use, and safely disposed of after your session. Practitioners wear gloves throughout, the skin is disinfected before and after, and the incision sites are dressed before we leave.
Which days are best for Sunnah Hijama?
Classically the 17th, 19th, and 21st of the lunar month are preferred, and many clients book around those dates. That said, therapeutic Hijama for a specific complaint can be done whenever it is needed.
What should I do before a wet Hijama session?
Avoid a heavy meal for two to three hours beforehand, drink water through the day, and set aside a quiet room. Mention any medication or health condition when booking so we can advise honestly whether the session should go ahead.
